Faced with an alarming shortage of blood, the Blood Transfusion Service of Namibia joined forces with Shincheonji Church of Jesus volunteers to carry out a blood drive to boost blood stocks and save lives.

The collaboration is aimed at inspiring communities to actively engage in the act of saving lives through blood donations.

NamBTS has made numerous appeals to the public to come forward to donate blood to save lives.

The Blood Transfusion Service of Namibia is experiencing critically low blood stocks, the lowest the reserves have been in the past four years. 

The state of the nation's blood stocks is significantly low, and NAMBTS urgently calls on Namibians to give blood to help meet the heightened demand.

Namibia's Blood Transfusion Services (NamBTS) is grappling with a severe shortage of blood and blood products, posing a significant challenge for patients in hospitals and medical centres across the country.

According to Namibia's Blood Transfusion Services Spokesperson, Titus Shivute, the current blood levels have reached a critical low, especially during the start of the festive season, jeopardising the ability to meet the demand for transfusions.
